The December Dilemma got you down? Did you know that many of the American Christmas Classics that you secretly, or not so secretly love, were actually written by Jewish composers and lyricists?! This means that as a Progressive Jewish community, we can be proud of this uniquely Jewish musical contribution to Americana. Join your WBT Cantors, cantors from around Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, led by Dr. Noreen Green, as we kick off the Chanukah and Christmas season with a joyous concert featuring all of your favorite Chanukah hits, as well as your favorite Christmas classics that were written by Jews, and a few other surprises! This year, we need as much love, light, and music as we can possibly get. It's going to be a Kosher Chrismukkah for all!
